Recently installed and configured the Newspaper theme on my site http://www.outofmytreegenealogy.com/. The desktop version seems fine, however all of the images are missing on mobile. I’ve regenerated images and even created a brand new post but the images are still missing on mobile. I haven’t tried installing the mobile plugin yet but as I understand it, the theme should still work and be responsive without it. What am I missing?
Hi,
Indeed it seems some of the thumbnails are not created properly. Please regenerate the thumbnails, this is a guide

Hi,
@notageek4u From what I can see at first glance, you could try and optimize the website more. For example the homepage has 10mb in size, that would be high. Regenerate the thumbnails because it seems some of the thumbnails are not created properly and the full image size is served

Morning,
Since the second last update – and not if it is related – our photo articles (using Instagram photos) are acting up. We post about 15 images or from Instagram and for whatever reason they are being squished on top of each other. I looked at past articles and they are still loading good so we are baffled on how to correct this.
Here is an example:
http://victoriabuzz.com/2018/02/photos-from-chinese-new-year-lion-dance/
Also, since the last update, when we upload a featured image – the options are not displaying, such as cropping and scaling etc. All we see is: Regenerate Thumbnail.
I got a 500 error when I first tried. Upgraded memory from 40 to 64mb in wp.config that helped and I was also able to complete the upgrade to 8.7.
define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’ );
With Server 500 errors it is also good to regenerate .htaccess file to make sure that is not causing an error. Do that by saving the permalinks again before you start the upgrade.
For the record I used CPanel upload and extract to do the upgrade. I used FTP and the Envato Market plugin previously but I think it was the memory config in my situation. 8.6 worked with 40mb and it looks like 8.7 needs 64Mb at least.
Hi,
That may be a thumbnail issue, please try to regenerate the thumbnails
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
The theme uses a center-top cropping for the thumbnails used by all modules
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
The resulting thumbnails are also affected by image aspect ratio
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
Thanks
There is a problem there, please regenerate the thumbnails
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
This will recreate all the necessary thumbnails.
Hello rrathore21,
Please regenerate thumbnails after doing this, so the custom sizes will be created
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks!
Hi,
The theme thumbnail sizes are defined in this file

Hi,
The thumbnails are created from featured images, make sure the posts have featured images
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
Once set, the theme will create the proper thumbnails for the modules.
If there are thumbnail issues please regenerate the thumbnails, this is a guide

This will recreate all the thumbnails.

We are using block 4 on the homepage of our new website. The current image size is 234×160, we would like to adjust that to 234×193. Would you point me in the direction on how to make that happen. I am aware that I will need to regenerate my thumbnails.
Thanks

I want to resize my woocommerce catalog image size (https://w.warrimarket.com/product-category/computer-stores/) from its current size of 195×195 to 132×132.
I have done this in Woocommerce > Settings > catalog image in Product Image size, and then regenerate thumbnail but there was no change.
Please what should I do to achieve the 132X132 dimension size with css?
There is a method to modify the theme cropping if needed, like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/
Modify the thumbnails you wish and regenerate them after
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
This will regenerate existent thumbnail, all further thumbnails will be created according to the modification.
Thanks

- All In One WP Security (simple wp security for your website)
- Contact Form 7 (i have never used it, but yeah it might be handy)

- External Links (super seo plugin, automatically prevents any external link from passing juice of your website to another for google ranking)
- GTmetrix for WordPress (checks page speed directly from plugin here)
- Heartbeat Control (ignore if you are not moderately good with tech. This one removes a lot of load from your cpanel of hosting)
- Inline Related Posts (adds beautiful in-line related posts automatically by extracting from tags and categories)
- Jetpack by WordPress.com (obvious)
- Mashshare Share Buttons (kinda good, especially has ability to add fake number of shares)
- OneSignal Push Notifications (a must get app! sends notification to mobile as well desktop users that you have published a post, just get this one)
- Regenerate Thumbnails (obvious)

Hello @michele-jolie , have you tried using Mobile Plugin provided with the theme? Indeed your page is blank on mobile phones. Apart from that, i assume you are already using
Apart from that, some basics you should try for your website:
1. Try installing a demo from theme panel, in your case, you should try Cooking demo- https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/ . Just have a look. You can find other demos here- https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper .
2. Go for Free CDN by Cloudfare, that will boost speed of your website a lot and is pretty good.
3. Add SSL Certificate to your website, it will show users that your website is safe and again, is pretty neat.
4. Explore post types in theme, they are pretty good and worth exploring.
5. Try reading how to set up homepage here- https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ .
6. Basic plugins must get for WordPress- Akismet-anti spam, External Links, Jetpack, Regenerate thumbnails, WP Smush, Wp-Super Cache and Yoast ofcourse.
Good luck with blogging. You can check mine here- https://medicforyou.in . Feel free to ask for anything. 🙂
Hi I have just bought the newspaper theme and I can’t get the thumbnails to show on the home page. I have tried the regenerate thumbnails tool but there are still no thumbnails. http://netnewsgb.co.uk
Hello,
The theme does not control the information displayed by Google in SERP, it depends on Google if stars rating is displayed or not.
When you make major changes in site’s HTML structure, like switching from one theme to another, Google crawler needs some time until will understand the new structure and some information may not be displayed for a while. Try to regenerate your sitemap and submit it to Google, it may help: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/enable-xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/
Thank you!

Hello,
I see woocommerce points you in the direction of the theme but i can assure you this is not the case. Please disable jetpack or other image optimization plugins you might use and then clear all caching and regenerate thumbnails.
Thank you!
Hi,
From what I see the featured images inside the post page are displaying just fine
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tleVbnweCNh
In the home there are only default theme placeholders displayed, that happens because the necessary thumbnail is disabled. I see you use module 18, so enable this thumb size (Theme panel->Block settings->Thumbs on modules/blocks )
– https://www.screencast.com/t/3NxBCIhY5ch
Thumbnails must be regenerated after doing this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Note that you can also create a static homepage, instead of a blog style

I installed the mobile theme and it seems to work well. Unfortunately, it wants to use 741 x 486 images, which are used nowhere else. My news site has 25,500 images, and I have 12 sizes turned on because of the blocks and styles I use. So now, just to fer two top of page images on mobile, using the plugin means I have to allow the 741 x 486 size and I have to regenerate 25,500 images and pass them through ShortPixel so they are optimized.
Why can’t mobile theme use 696x 385, the same as Slider2 ?
By the way, although this size is listed in the Theme Panel, it doesn’t say the mobile theme needs this.
Could you make this sizing based on the sizes in use, or allow it to be set in the Theme Panel, or, What about making this the size of a mobile phone? What mobile phones are 741 px wide? not mine!
Hi,
I regenerated thumbnails which may well have sorted this out as it is displaying correctly now.
Thanks
